David began practicing yoga in the year 2000. At the time he was feeling a disconnection between body and soul. He started one day with a basics class,in which he wore shorts with no underwear. However, he had not envisioned the downward facing dog. Needless to sat, the woman behind him was mortified. From that day on, he realized two very important things; that from that day on yoga would become a necessary component in his well being,and that he should wear underwear while practicing.
In 2003, he completed his teacher training at Laughing Lotus, in order to"deepen my practice", but secretly desired to lead his own classes, and to give people an experience that was unlike another.
As a practitioner of kung fu, the choreographed forms and purposeful sequences of movements inspired him to explore the full potential of vinyasa sequencing. Also, as a musician and singer, decided to set his classes to music, and use his voice to lend rhythm and structure.
New york yogi's are lucky to be able to study and practice with a variety of yoga teachers, and styles. David is no exception, and has immersed himself in assortment of different practices; Kung fu , Bagua, Muay Thai, and Pilates to name a few. However, do not mistake his class as a martial arts/yoga hybrid, he draws inspiration from many different forms.
Over time, David has developed an evolving series of postures, with a precise articulation, the result being a teaching style named Multi-Intenso. Intense in multiple ways, this practice incorporates dialog, music, a whole bunch of inversions, and sequencing, which leaves an imprint on your brain and body.
